Cringy tarantula videos

[Rittdk01]

^^^guy handling the pokie was pretty fearless. I had mine on my arm when I originally housed him, and I wasn't as ballsy as that dope.

Oh here's one, I just found.

Ahhh I was watching a couple of videos of this guy last night. Quite a lot of his videos have "GONE WRONG" in the title. One of his more recent videos is a breeding attempt gone wrong, the female managed to get a rather large wound to the side of the abdomen. Not cringy as such but kinda sad.

This is the guy that really pushes my buttons the most.

This is why I don't peruse YouTube or Facebook that much

This is the guy that really pushes my buttons the most.

I feel like he's a bit more forgivable than hobbyists who should know better. He doesn't encourage handling, rather the opposite, and acknowledges that it stresses the animal out.

This guy is a really irresponsible, he should not be looking after a child let alone a tarantula.

For sheer idiocy, this may be hard to beat...

It is funny perched on his shoulder in that screen shot...

And I'm not 100% certain, but I think this guy doesn't know the difference between getting bit and getting haired...I can't spot any puncture wounds, but maybe I'm overlooking them.

Master the art of potty mouth, one must. One day an HMac climb up your arm, will. Express your feelings then, you must.

My mouth is definitely R rated.

This is the guy that really pushes my buttons the most.

My son loves this guy's channel. We've watched many of his videos together. I think his purpose behind the videos is educational and for some reason that makes me feel better about it.

I agree, he is pretty informative and I am all for promoting how awesome inverts are BUT I do not want to stick my finger in an animal's mouth in the name of science.

When this thread popped up I thought "this will be fun!".
Now I am just sad and tremendously pissed.
And in the future please remind me not to use the word tremendously anymore, as this makes me immediately think of Trump - so now it's all even worse.

 

[Grace Cannell]

Well it just goes to show that people can be irresponsible with any pet, not just cats and dogs.

I clearly stated the purpose of the thread with the first post

That's because your videos are informative, interesting and fun!

Pokie on the run (Poeciotheria. faciata)

I was hoping the tarantula would bite him as punishment for being so reckless (and also as a lesson for other idiots).

I wonder how he moves with balls the size of the sun.

His impenetrable skull provides a counterweight.

I'm definitely not going to stick my finger in any animals mouth just to see what happens. That's asking for a bite. This guy gets bitten on purpose to document the experience with the venom. It's kind if interesting to see how he reacts to bites, but I tend to feel bad for whatever specimen he is handling. At least it's educational. Sometimes I wonder how educational it is thought because everyone reacts differently to bites and stings. I tend to go back and forth with how I feel about it.
